The new venture will involve blue pillarboxes being installed in 96 outlets of Mail Boxes Etc with items to be delivered to business addresses overnight.
The 25-year-old service was originally set up as the Document Exchange for members of the legal profession after frustration over the increasing frequency of postal strikes.
DX bought the company in 1980 and de-merged from its parent company Hays after being listed on the London Stock Exchange in November 2004.
The group says its service is different to other rivals in the market in that it offers private business-to-business mail services, including collection, sorting, and last-mile delivery, for about 27,000 companies in the UK and Ireland. It also delivers small packages and bulk mail services.
The service works with companies signing a contract for a year based on an estimated annual fee, with prices charged at the same or less than Royal Mail, which is expected to announce record profits of around 拢500m tomorrow, up nearly 拢300m from last year.
DX is one of a number of private sector firms competing with Royal Mail, including Business Mail, which picks up mail for larger companies, although it relies on Royal Mail for the "final mile" delivery.
DX recently began testing a new blue and white stamp for business mail in Scotland and Northern Ireland, which if successful will be adopted throughout the entire UK.
